I think it's time the world had a mass orgy of understanding between the sexes. Not NECESSARILY a literal orgy. Not necessarily.. Quoting: King Julian The Boy Prophet The United States is about to engage in the very same. Except this 'mass orgy' is one of Consumerism. Black Friday...

And they're not human either! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27101564 Did you know that The Bible doesn't give the birth date of Jesus anywhere? The Christ lived under Mosaic law and the ancient Jews were not allowed to place importance over any day except that written in the law. (we are no longer under Mosaic LAW. We are under the law of Christ) Xmas is a fraud. And guess who made it up? Business people! I love not having to celebrate phoney Xmas. |

Do you really believe that everybody can work as many hours as they want? What is an American? Is it one nationality in particular? What about those shopping that aren't Americans? Why does it bother you at all it's really NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS now is it? |

But I see many foreign tourist from the EU, Asia, South America in my city and they're even worse than Americans. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28302178 ^^^^ this ^^^^ very well said, sir/madame.

Nothing more. Why people buy into the hype in order to save a few bucks on a tv or IPad is beyond me. It's a fool's errand. Stay home and load the CD player with Christmas music, drink spiced (or spiked) cider, sort through your Christmas decorations, and make pot pies out of leftover turkey. It makes for a much more enjoyable day. |
| anonanon User ID: 4148733 11/23/2012 04:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Blame the retailers for creating this anything goes frenzy. They advertise deals on much coveted items, stock a few hundred, encourage people to start lining up at their doors a day or two in advance, and hype it all. Blame also consumers who join in. Certainly everyone loves a good deal but it has really gotten out of hand. And now the latest offense of opening on Thanksgiving, denying their employees their family time and encouraging shoppers to deny theirs. The stores would go to such extremes if there were not so many willing and stupid shoppers who eagerly participate in the frenzy. |
